I just saw a massive blog post on developing a web app. Not only was the length of the blog post long, the list of related technologies was large. The post is going to hit JSF, CSS, EJB, DAO, JPA, JAAS, MVC, and MySQL. I have done a little bit of web application development. But I did not recognize all these terms. I guess you got to keep up.

So far I have only checked out the first piece of this blog post. I plan to go through the whole thing. This just seems like a lot to take in to do web programming. Then again this makes web developers more in demand if the skill list is huge.

The question I keep asking myself is whether I want to get into all this. The pain would be that the technologies would become obsolete or replaced just as soon as I master them. Such is life I guess.

I have been sick for the last few weeks. So my Java roguelike game engine has been put on hold. That's okay. I shall enter a contest around March of this year to develop a game with the engine. I suspect I shall be doing a massive amount of Java coding that week. The engine will get some bug fixes and updates as a results.

The Spring school semester is just about to start up. I am taking an intro JavaScript course this time around. I plan to stop my Java learning for a few months to concentrate on the JavaScript. By summer I should be back in full swing with Java develoopment.
